Don't seek the blessings I have stored up for tomorrow without observing the joy in today. I have made each day a gift for you to rejoice in! I have expressed my love for you lavishly in the present with the intention that you enjoy it here. This Moment! -- every facet of it is my gift for you. There are beautiful details hidden here that you run the risk of overlooking. You are a planner at heart and desire to understand more fully the glimpses you are seeing of the blessings I have planned for you. You may let your heart be glad for those things you anticipate, as it they are marks of my craftsmanship, but do not be impatient for them. They will come to you in the right time (in my time) if you seek me, the Giver, more than the gifts. Remember that I have an unbounded understanding of all the events of your life and I ask you to wait patiently at my feet and find your soul's delight in me.

This is not about delayed gratification, it is about present gratification.
